This is a sturdy little recipe that produces two portions at 237 calories or one decent size portion at 475.
You can sub shrimp for the chicken, but the sausage is a must. If you can't find smoked chicken andouille, get a lower calorie turkey sausage and hack off a 130 calorie portion, usually like two ounces.
A lot of my recipes come about from eating out. Either I’ll have a really good meal and want to make it for myself, tweaking it a bit or I will have a really shitty meal that disappoints me so badly that I must go home and make my own take on it, accentuating what I really thought was missing in the restaurant version. The latter one of those times.
The saving grace of this is that it's 80 calories per serving and is fairly satisfying. The braised shallots really bring out the sweetness of the caramelized cabbage wedges and the whole garlic cloves add a buttery sensation on the palate that is quite lovely.
